WELCOME to Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace for this service, and to a continuous tradition of worship that has been practised on this site for at least 800 years. This is one of the Queen’s Chapels, and as such, not a parish church.

The original chapel was founded by the Knights Hospitaller long before Cardinal Wolsey began rebuilding it in 1528. The fine vaulted ceiling, dating from 1535, was the major addition by Henry VIII. Most of the chapel furnishings date from the late 17th and early 18th century and were designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The organ (although much altered and re-built) essentially dates back to 1711 and retains not only its fine case but much original pipework.

The Chapel Royal was not originally a building but a body of priests and singers that traditionally accompanied the monarch wherever he or she went. Only later did the buildings this body used become known by that name. Today, as well as Hampton Court, there are Chapels Royal at The Tower of London, and St James’s Palace, which is the headquarters of the Chapel Royal. Services in all of Her Majesty’s Chapels are based on those from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, and you will have been handed an Order of Service with this booklet. The Chapel Royal has an unrivalled continued tradition of choral music. Many of the greatest English composers have worked and composed pieces in and for this place, Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and Purcell among them. It is, therefore, wholly appropriate that worship is enhanced by music, which now may come from the English or European choral traditions. The texts are usually sung in their original language, usually English or Latin.

This booklet contains the details of that music, as well as the hymns and lessons for each choral service. The hymns can found in the green New English Hymnal. In a tradition begun at the start of the Great War, we always end by singing the National Anthem, asking God to send his blessings upon the Queen.

Ave verum Corpus natum de Maria Virgine : vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine : cuius latus perforatum, unda fluxit aqua et sanguine : esto nobis prægustatum in mortis examine.

All hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, which truly suffered, sacificed on the cross for man, from whose pierced side flowed a stream of water and blood : be unto us, who have received thee now, our vindication at our death.

Lord, let me know mine endMaurice Greene (1695-1755)

Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days, that I may be certified how long I have to live. Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long, and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee; And verily every man living is altogether vanity. For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain; he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what is my hope? truly my hope is even in thee. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and with thine ears consider my calling; hold not thy peace at my tears. O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength, before I go hence, and be no more seen.

[Psalm 39: 5 - 9, 13 - 15]

Sunday 13th November 2016 Remembrance Sunday

8.30 am Holy Communion

10.55 am Act of Remembrance and Choral Matins

HymnO valiant hearts, who to your glory cameThrough dust of conflict and through battle flame :Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,Your memory hallowed in the land you loved.

Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war,As who had heard God’s message from afar;All you had hoped for, all you had, you gaveTo save mankind – yourselves you scorned to save.

Splendid you passed, the great surrender made,Into the light that never more shall fade;Deep your contentment in that blest abode,Who wait the last clear trumpet-call of God.

O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead,Whose Cross has brought them and whose staff has led :In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing landCommits her children to thy gracious hand.

Turn back, O man Gustav Holst (1874-1934)

Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish waysOld now is Earth, and none may count her days,Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame,Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim:“Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways!”

Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise,Age after age their tragic empires rise,Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep.Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise.

Earth shall be fair and all her people one,Nor till that hour shall God’s whole will be done.Now, even now, once more from earth to skyPeals forth in joy man’s old undaunted cry“Earth shall be fair and all her folk be one!”

Great Lord of LordsCharles Wood (1866-1926)

Great Lord of Lords, supreme immortal King, O give us grace to sing Thy praise, which makes earth, air, and heaven to ring.

O Holy Ghost, Whose care doth all embrace, Thy watch is o’er our race, Thou Source of Life, Thou Spring of peace and grace.

One living Trinity, One unseen Light, All, all is Thine, Thy light Beholds alike the bounds of depth and height.

Amen.
